For the most part, there are no special orders in the steakhouse. I would meet with the maitre'd on the first day and go over your dietary requirements and let them know that you won't be in the MDR on the first night and make plans for the following night.
On the Fantasy class ships, I'm not sure if they have the Wok anymore, since it is where the Blue Iguana went, but it was the best. Blue Iguana was very good too. Disappointed in Guys burgers for the last 2 cruises though.
It depends on the specialty restaurant. For example, Jijis, each person order 1 app, but it came out big enough to share with the table. Steakhouse was a little tighter and didn't let us get 2 on Mardi Gras, but did on Miracle.
Carnival is using the COVID excuse as the reason they can't fly you to the next port on the cruise. I haven't been impressed with F2F anyway, they canceled my flight, blamed the airline and put me on inferior flights. I canceled with Carnival and booked directly with the airline on my original flights for less than Carnival was charging.
They usually start releasing dates around Oct-Nov, however, there is supposedly some news about dates being released soon. Not sure which itinerary or ships, but it sounds like they will start releasing more starting soon.
I had no issues uploading pictures with the social plan.
One thing I will note is that i as still getting notifications from apps that i couldn't connect to with the social plan, like ESPN.
A friend of mine enjoyed the Bayou Smoke from the Fortune Teller bar and she is a big fan of old fashioneds. Not sure if it was an old fashioned or just something she liked.
I've been seeing this request pop up a lot lately and I doubt Carnival will do anything about it. If you don't remember what you booked, its easier for them to not give it to you.
Could be the end of "Sunshining" ships.
I think they will get rid of the rest of the Fantasy class ships before Sunshine. They pretty much redid everything during the transformation, so the only thing that wasn't redone was the hull.
